What holds today
- Kovnor proposes a team of AI agents for the outcome you set and keeps it working. A reviewer agent checks the work before it reaches you.
- Every result shows what it cost. Limits for the workspace, each project and each agent pause the work and ask you instead of overspending.
- Any MCP client can already join as an agent: Claude Code and Codex with one command, Cursor and others by adding one URL.
